  • Publication number: 20100011719
    Abstract: The invention concerns a riding saddle (200) with a gullet plate (101; 101?) as well as a gullet plate (101, 101?). A gullet plate (101, 101?), which is designed and arranged in a riding saddle (200) so that the foremost part (103) of the gullet plate (101; 101?) is situated above the lowermost part (104) and, when the riding saddle (200) is mounted, the gullet plate arms (102, 102?) enclosing the back of the horse (11) on its downward facing ends (105) each define a pressure surface (112) with a longitudinal extent that runs roughly parallel to the dorsal vertebrae (3) of the animal, contributing to more uniform weight distribution on the forehand and hind quarters and simultaneously giving the rider considerable latitude in order to convey commands with his body language.
